Baked Stuffed Winter Squash image

Winter squash (acorn, kabocha, butternut) is baked, scooped out, and mixed with other ingredients, then stuffed back into the rind and baked. This dish has it all -- veggies, meat, and a natural sweetness and creamy consistency without any added sugar. I use pork sausage but you can substitute something lower in fat.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 acorn squash, halved and seeded
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 pound sweet Italian sausage
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 egg, beaten
½ cup dry bread crumbs
½ cup raisins
½ cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place squash halves cut side down in baking pans. Fill pans with about 1/2 inch water. Bake squash 40 minutes in the preheated oven, or until tender.
  • While squash bakes, heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place onions and celery in the skillet, and cook until tender. Stir in the sausage and thyme. Cook and stir until evenly brown.
  • Remove squash from the oven, and carefully scrape the pulp from the rinds. Set rinds aside. Place the pulp in a bowl, and mash with a potato masher. Mix in the cooked sausage mixture, egg, bread crumbs, raisins, and pecans. Scoop into the reserved rinds. Set stuffed squash in the baking dishes.
  • Bake 25 minutes in the 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven, until heated through.

The squash was a bit too hard for my liking. I think I'll cook it for a little longer next time.

The filling was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices to give it more flavor.

I'm not a huge fan of winter squash, but this recipe changed my mind! The combination of flavors was amazing.

This was such a hit with my family! The squash was perfectly tender and the filling was flavorful and hearty. I'll definitely be making this again.
